Ep. 396 - China’s first-order innovation

Rising first-in-class innovation, faster IND reviews and deep patient pools are drawing global biotechs to China, even as U.S. outbound investment restrictions loom. In a special edition of the BioCentury This Week podcast recorded live at the 13th BioCentury-BayHelix China Healthcare Summit in Shanghai, BioCentury’s Jeff Cranmer, Simone Fishburn and Josh Berlin are joined by Kali Therapeutics CEO Weihao Xu, Charles River’s Matthew Hewitt and Aerska CEO Jack O’Meara to discuss key themes from the event.
The panel assesses what the COINS Act could mean for U.S. investment in China biotech and how investors may adapt, how China’s 30-day IND review and new investigator-initiated trial rules are reshaping clinical strategy, and what dealmaking reveals about the country’s growing first-in-class pipeline. They also preview BioCentury’s East-West Summit in Seoul, March 15-17.
